Mattie There are six animal cruelty cases within 20 miles of Alta Sierra School in Clovis, CA. This tells me that we need to do something about that. Maybe, you aren’t an animal lover or you don’t care so much about animals? But would you like it if someone abused you. I didn’t think so. Don’t you want to do something about those abusers? Well, what I’m trying to say is that people who abuse their pets should get their pets taken away.

It’s not fair to the animals that they get to be tortured and nobody does anything about it, which leads to the abusers thinking its ok. They can’t just take a life from a poor animal. The animal didn’t do anything to them! This is an article that I found on the internet; The Tennessean reported that the nonprofit has been called in to assist in nine rescue cases involving more than a thousand animals over the last two years in Tennessee. So in only nine rescue cases there are over a thousand animals together in the last two years. How about this one; "A 16 week old black lab puppy was tortured and left for dead in a diaper box at a gas station." you see there are a lot of abusers everywhere in the USA, and we need to stop that.

As humankind has progressed, there has been an increase in governance and rules and regulations of everyday life. These governance and rules rise from general disgust over happenings and concepts all over the world. One such rapidly growing concept is animal cruelty. Animal cruelty simply means cruel unwarranted treatment of animals. Such treatment generally has a single point program - to subject animals and sometimes pets to unnecessary harm and pain. One major type of animal cruelty is torture.

Amy These facts have giving me alot of help on my presentation for animal cruelty,and i will be hopeing to read this out to the class,and tell them how these poor innocent animals had to suffer through such tragic events.So thankyou very much. 12/5/2009
AdaultJ why would people do this? people are sick minded if they do this stuff! we gotta put a stop to this! 12/3/2009
Drewba nuuhhh bro no one should do dat ayye lol For some reason, most people think that kicking a dog is okay if it is being bad, but laying a finger on a child is way over the line. I don't understand how this can be anyone's creed. Animals are living creatures, just like humans. Even lawmakers only give animal abusers a small fraction of the punishment that someone would get it they performed the same acts on a human being. We ourselves are animals, which many people tend to forget.
It is very hard to gather information to get statistics on animal abuse, because almost all animal abuse situations go unreported, can you believe that. Even though such a small percentage of people that see an animal being abused report it, 1880 cases were reported in the media in 2007. 64.5% of these cases were situations where a dog was being abused. The incidents ranged from neglecting to kicking, all the way up to burning the dogs, often because the dog was barking. I wonder why it was barking. Maybe because of the unsatisfactory living conditions that it has to live with every day.

I think it's disgusting to see what some people do to animals, some in anger, and some for fun. I have always been strongly against animal abuse, no matter what animal or human, it is aimed towards. If you're still saying who cares animals aren't people, and only people have feelings, understand this OK. Many murderers grew up as a child abusing and being around others who abused animals, most commonly their pets. It is an early sign that someone isn't headed in the right direction, so they should be stopped before they hurt or kill a human being.
Just think about it for a second, imagine you were the dog being abused wouldn’t you want the offender or offenders’ to serve a much more sever punishment like twice as long jail time and some work for the R.S.P.C.A or even work 10 hours of community service.
Maybe, just maybe the violent people who abuse or torture animals will reailse "huhh maybe I wont do that again

If you still think that animal abuse is okay, I don't know what will help you. And if you agree that animal abuse isn't okay, but don't think those who harm animals should be punished more severely, that's a whole different storey. You should treat all living things as you would treat your child, as they feel emotions in the exact same way. Animal abuse is NOT okay, and people who do the abusing should DEFENATLLY be punished MORE severely.

Skipper Animals should defend themselves...they have teeth don't they...? don't they...? 11/23/2009
Skipper Possibly, the worst case of animal cruelty in film is the movie, 'Cannibal Holocaust'. Though the movie waded in troubled waters ever since it was released, it was proven than at least six animals, a muskrat, a pig, a monkey, a snake, a turtle and a large spider were killed for the sake of the film. It has been said that the scene depicting the monkey had to shot twice, and therefore, two monkeys were sacrificed for movie realism 11/23/2009
